 In thin bright clime 1 liave a friend, 
 A chieftain, very wise and old; 
 Oft' together, we hourn spend 
 In ancient lore— This tale he told 
 About his Sun-God's wondrous power; 
 The source of heat, and light, and force, 
 And life, and time, for every hour 
 Is counted by the Sun's bright course.

 He told me how the worhl began, 
 Tlirown from the Sun's t£reat tuolten sea. 
 And war* jjivpared for l>irth of man, 
 And of its God the Zaptor-Zee. 
 And how earth's life when it is done. 
 Shall melt within the Sun's great sea, 
 ■ AH dross l)urnetl out, for in the Sun 
 
 Is heat, and light, and purity. 
 
 And this chief truth he hade me know, 
 
 "That heat alone gives light and force; 
 . That naught exists without its glow. 
 
 For 'tis of life, the only source. 
 
 That heat alone makes light and power. 
 
 And on these three all life depends.
